EN: covering; fill (for a hole); embankment
Think of it as the 'Ctrl+Z' for holes in the ground. It's the soil you use to bury something, whether it's treasure, a dead pet, or your past mistakes (kidding!). In construction, it's the earth used to fill and level land. The verb 'tabunan' means to cover something, like how you'd get buried in work before a long weekend.
The verb form is 'tabunan' (to cover something with) or 'magtabon' (to cover).
🇵🇭 Ginamit nila ang lupa bilang tabon sa malalim na hukay.
🇺🇸 They used the soil as a fill for the deep pit.
🇵🇭 Mag-ingat ka, baka matanggal ang tabon sa balon.
🇺🇸 Be careful, the cover on the well might come off.
